Let them. Just imagine the messiness of a polygamous divorce settlement. That alone would finish them, and would be fun to watch.

also, what happens if a fourth person wants to marry into a three-some polygamous marriage, and two of the original three want the new person in, while the third doesn't? if, as the person in the article says, women should have freedom of choice in such matters, how would this be settled? by vote? (that would deny somebody's choice.)
by a second marriage of the new 3-some alongside the original 3-some?
and what if some of the people in an 8-way polygamous marriage want to get divorced from some of the other people, but not from all of them? and suppose they don't even agree which of the people to divorce.
who will get the cat?
i think these issues should all be studied before we legalize these polygamous marriages.
i see a great future for law professors who want to write academic articles about this.
